Company Overview

Company Profile

Mecklai Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. is a consulting company exclusively focused on treasury risk management. With offices at 5 locations across India, we deliver customized solutions, backed by our proprietary risk management approach, high quality market research and robust technology processes. We draw our heritage from the Mecklai group, one of the leading brands in financial markets in India for over 85 years. While we have an established presence in currency and interest rate risk management, our advisory services extend to other key areas of corporate finance, such as debt structuring, credit risk insurance and cash management. Business is pleasure, work is play

We provide clients with unparalleled knowledge of markets, both in terms of spot and forward rates and how they are likely to move as well as volatility patterns and how they are likely to change. We also have huge experience in using this market knowledge to help companies build business-specific risk management frameworks to enable them to make optimal use of markets. Further, since we do not sell any of the financial products we advise on, we are able to provide the hallowed "independent" view that is so valuable in today's complex markets.
